As Bolt was making history with his third consecutive win in the 100-meter dash and proving once again that he is the fastest man alive, Costas made a brow-raising comment saying: “With apologies to all you reggae fans, I think Bolt has even outdistanced Marley.”

It was just one of many moments in NBC’s Olympic coverage that left viewers scratching their heads.
